HAHAHAHA!!! Oh god, this is a terrible movie. I think I have to disagree with you, because this movie is so bad, that I think it swings back around and becomes the greatest movie ever.

I won’t waste any time expressing the sheer absurdity of the plot, since Richard Jeni has done a good enough job for all of us, so I’ll just cut to the epic climax.

The shark gets shocked by means that I don’t entirely understand, but the great part is that it produces the same roar as Spot, beloved pet of The Munsters. Oh, and then it randomly explodes when the boat rams it, taking the boat with it.

It has to be the greatest “OMG WTF just happened?” moments in all of cinematic history. It makes NO sense, and it doesn’t even try.

I saw this movie on video when it came out. At the time it was the coolest thing ever! I watched this movie at least twenty times that year. During the holidays I went back to my parents’ place and I saw Jaws: The Revenge in a bag of videos that they were going to turn into a used bookstore. I had such fond memories of it that I had to watch it again. Well…

The thing was that I blanked out during the movie. I do not know if that means that it was so awesome (good) that my brain could not handle its glory or it was so awesome (bad) that my brain turned on me and forced me to go unconscious. The third option is that I fell asleep. This proves that yes, this is the greatest movie ever!

Happy 200!
I remember seeing Jaws 3 several time but not this one yet. I really wonder if anything with Mario Van Peebles can be considered the Greatest Movie Ever.
It was nice to hear Katherine again too.
Oh, and Michael Caine, while pretty cool, is totally a step down from Roy Scheider.

You guys talked about the lost voodoo priest subplot. What would have been great is if a voodoo priest had revived the original shark with a botched resurrection spell, and the shark is only able to hunt the Brody family to the beat of music.

Good job on the podcast, and it’s great to hear Katherine back. You mentioned in the review that you and Katherine had also watched Jaws 3-D recently. Will we be hearing that review anytime soon? It was the inspiration for so much of Deep Blue Sea (the Greatest Movie Ever) after all.
